Finland today for me just to get the NA Canada match.

Canada in that match so that Johnny doesn't have to play a 3 game series against either europe or sweden.

part of me wants Finland to win so NA can play but at the same time, I wouldn't be sad if Johnny didn't play again in this tournament. There's been too many needless injuries and every time Johnny gets hit or goes down I end up holding my breath.

How come we never see the Lanny McDonald Scotia bank commercial. It is always the Orr or Lemieux one.

Because we were in it together to take down those EVIL Russians that threatened our very way of life.
Or so we thought.

These fifth season commercials are lame. Like a kid would care about a play by Bobby Orr. I'm in my thirties and I barely care about Bobby Orr since he was even before my time.

Those kids are mean for making the scrawny kid just sit and pretend to be a PBP guy.

Jiri got it right.



But I should like to add for my part that I don't really care about how many Oilers are or are not included on Team NA U-23. My problem is with the media generated narrative that this team IS Connor McDavid. The old Canada Cup teams were always much bigger than just one player, and it is even more obnoxious now when that one player has not even been the best player on the team.

Vatanen is genetically incapable of making a simple pass for a one-timer. Every pass is in the wrong spot.

Two big penalty kills for Russia in a row. This does not look good for Suomi.

Just because I know Jiri loves these stories, Larry Robinson was the one who mediated the whole thing. Gotta love the Big Bird. (Sorry, Jiri! )

Must be so frustrating for him. He's in good position but shots keep getting blocked.

I like the odds of him scoring. I've watched him a lot and at some point he just finds a top corner.

Ristolainen is a guy who I feel has the game-breaking aura. He could be the one.

Teuvo has been surprisingly good this game. I had already written him off in the tournament.

Good period from Jokipakka I felt. Korpikoski looks strong on boards.

Finland, easily. For how exciting NA has been to watch, and how dominant Canada has been (to boring amounts, frankly. The fact they'll win is never in doubt), it'd be a real shame if they never meet each other in this tournament
